Why I Blog!!
Why I Blog I was inspired by powerful voices like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Les Brown, and later Dr. Boyce Watkins. Each of these individuals came from different walks of life, but they all shared a passion for uplifting the underserved—those living in poverty, those mistreated by the justice system,Continue reading “Why I Blog!!”
